Loved this post, @artywink, when I finally got around to it (sorry!). That nursery looks amazing. YOu're definitely in the right place to ask advice for herbs, and if it was me, I'd be RUNNING to the medicinal plant section!
I went straight to licorice for blood pressure as I know it lowers it, and it's nice, but it'd be a challenge to grow I think to start with. Herbs you should grow for bees and YOU are thyme and oregano, as they're great all year round for both anitviral teas, baked vegetables etc. In fact you can make a lovely pesto from oregano. Along with rosemary, they're easy to grow.
I'm sure you'll take this on as a great project and when I'm not a passenger in a car on a road trip struggling for reception I'll have a think about what other plants/herbs would be a great natural alternative for you!
Awww!...thank you so much @riverflows, your comments have already helped me so much, I'm going to refer to it a lot. I do believe in natural medicines, and plant based. I seriously have to take the "bull by the horns" and go that way for sure.
Thank you for the advise, and stopping by.
